1.0 Introduction
Every modern state generally strives to establish a public administration training institute at
the national level for mitigating the demands for ready human resources for running the state
affairs effectively and for rendering the best services to the citizenry. Bangladesh Public
Administration Training Centre (BPATC) as a centre of excellence and a premier regional
hub is dedicated to provide effective, inclusive and self-mandated and bespoke training for
civil servants, in the public sector in Bangladesh. The centre is entrusted to meet national and
global challenges of the modern era through imparting state of the art training the public
sector.
The spirit of our liberation war in 1971 was to build a glorious, developed and prosperous
Bangladesh free from all sorts of exploitations and injustices. In order to achieve the goal, a
group of well-groomed, professional and skilled civil servants in all tiers is a must. At present
the national commitment is to build up a digital Bangladesh and middle income country by
2021. We need hardware, software and human resources to achieve the target. Human
Resource is the most important aspect to ensure digital Bangladesh and to achieve
Sustainable Development Goals, Vision 2021 and Vision 2041. BPATC can be treated as the
nursing home of human resources to cater these dire needs
.
The main mandate of BPATC is to provide the highest quality training to groom up the
officers of entry level, mid-level and even at the senior–level as the best administrative
leaders of the soil. The Centre is relentlessly working to perform their assigned duties
properly. We believe any training institution is a preaching and practicing house of good
governance. Therefore, we try to encourage the participants by saying the best words and by
demonstrating the best practices. We would like to reiterate that we religiously believe in
transparency, accountability, justice and fairness. Our humble expectation from our
participants is that they will also avail the opportunity to reinforce their positive attitude, pro-
activeness and working spirit through the training received here. We are always with our
esteemed participants to provide the best services as much as we can.
2.0 Foundation of BPATC
With the dire necessity of fulfilling the demand for ready human resources of a newly born
independent country and achieving the dream of the father of Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman’s Sonar Bangla, creating a core of efficient, dynamic, competent, citizen-
2
focused, proactive and patriotic public servants for rapid and sustained development, BPATC
emerged in 1984 as an autonomous organization amalgamating the then four institutions:
1. Bangladesh Administrative Staff College (BASC)
2. National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA)
3. Civil Officer’s Training Academy (COTA)
4. Staff Training Institute (STI)
3.0 Location and Landscape
Set amidst a landscape of the velvet of lush green natural environment and aesthetic beauties
blended with planned trees with abode of chirping birds, flowers, gardens, water body- a
habitat of flora and fauna surrounded by a mini tea garden, a herbal garden and plants and
modern infrastructures, the centre lies in Savar at a surface of 54 acres land which is 28 km
away from the maddening crowd of the capital city Dhaka. Notwithstanding the limitation
imposed by its distant location, the centre prides itself as the alma mater for most laurels in
the civil service domain across the country.

The learned faculty of the centre comprises a healthy blend of senior civil servants,
academicians and researchers keeping spaces for dignified guest speakers with diversified
backgrounds. The civil servants combine the richness of their field experience with strong
academic credentials, create a stimulating atmosphere for learning knowledge, skills and
competencies attuned with positive attitude. The faculty blended with academicians,
experienced civil servants and researchers contribute to the two-way synergy of theory and
practice to respond to constantly changing environmental dynamics.
The centre is headed by a Rector who is a Senior Secretary to the Government entrusted with
transforming the mission, vision, goals and objectives of the centre into reality by managing
holistically the human and other resources at his domain. Followed by the Rector, there are
six Member Directing Staff (MDS) of the rank of Additional Secretary/Joint Secretary to the
government, devoted to supervising six divisions of the centre. There are a required number
of specialised departments within each division headed by Directors, equivalent to the rank of
Deputy Secretaries. Other faculty members below Directors are designed as Deputy

acts as a virtual melting pot where participants across the divergent generation, qualifications
5
and socio-economic backgrounds meet, interact and learn from each other ranging from the
brilliant young women and men who begin their career in civil service after qualifying in
rigorous competitive examination to mid-level and senior officials. Above all, the centre has
a twelve-member Board of Governors (BOG) chaired by a Minister. Overall administration

Indeed, the centre has four arms as Regional Public Administration Training Centre
(RPATC), planned to be extended up to all eight Divisions of the country shortly, mandated
to discharge specialized training courses for supporting staff and officials at regional level.
Understanding rural people and dynamics of field administration through field visit and
attachments, is a mandatory part of the training of BPATC. In BPATC, the medium of
instruction in class room session is preferably English. The centre encourages participants to
develop their oral English skills and as such, they are expected to speak English with
colleagues and faculty members during staying at BPATC. The participants have to

10. Special Foundation Training Course for 40+ Aged Officials
Foundation Training Course (FTC) is the basic training programme around administration
and development conducted by Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC).
FTC is a compulsory training for all new entrants to the Bangladesh Civil and Judicial
Services. However, various government departments in the recent past have underscored the
need of FTC for their respective entry level officials and newly promoted grade 9 officers
considering the underlying philosophy of the training course. As such, BPATC in addition to
its regular FTCs conducts a good number of Special Foundation Training Courses for
officials other than the Bangladesh Civil service.
Although compulsory for all new recruits, FTC is not any cadre or service oriented training
course rather a very generic type of programme which is conducted with the general aim of
situating a new recruit in the service. It provides the foundation for subsequent professional
training organized by various cadre-oriented training institutes. The prime intentions of
conducting FTC are to create some common core values among the entry level recruits and to
develop their knowledge base required for a career-based service where generating some skill
on some specific aspects relating to modern administration and management remains an add-
on objective. This underlying philosophy of the foundation training course is equally
applicable for all entry level officials of the government service. As such, BPATC on request
conducts special Foundation Training Course for officials of various departments.
The contents of this course have carefully been selected so that the participants acquire the
basic knowledge of various theories, concepts and issues on administration and development.
The course aims at building personality, stimulating creativity and instilling leadership
qualities into the officers. The course also provides an opportunity to the officers to
familiarize themselves with various dimensions of socio-economic development of the
country.
11. Objectives of the Course
The general objective of this course is to develop leadership competencies of the participants
for managing their own organization strategically with professional excellence. The principal
aim is to foster participants’ capacity to meet the upcoming challenges that the country will
face.
8
